Walk the round stone pavement
Did you know a Salvador local is called ‘soteropolitan’? The historical centre (Pelourinho), with the colonial facades, is a World Heritage Site and the first place to go. Also very iconical is the baroque church of Nosso Senhor do Bonfim; actually, you’ll find more than 300 churches all over the city.

Give in to the flavours
We’re talking, of course, of ‘moqueca’, ‘vatapá’, ‘acarajé’... The strong flavours of a culinary with native and african influences is one of the symbols of Salvador. And beyond the evocative songs of local musicians (like Gilberto Gil), there’s samba: this is by far the largest cultural event in the city.
